Kratom (Mitragyna speciosa) offers a unique interaction with the body’s mu opioid receptor (MOR), distinguishing it from classical opioids like morphine. When opioids bind to the MOR, they typically activate G proteins, which provide pain relief, and beta arrestin 2, a protein linked to tolerance, desensitization, and dangerous side effects like respiratory depression, which can lead to overdose.
